Two bedrooms(one for b.s. and one for me,my wife and my kids). Financially medium income below. Can't afford to pay cash for bigger house unless going for installment(monthly payment)

You need more room obviously but you do the best you can to provide shelter, food and stability for your family.

Is your wife at home all day or does she work? If she is at home ditch the sitter. That should save some $.
Also put the kids in the baby sitters room so she can "sit" them and give you and your wife some privacy.
Nobody in USA pays cash for a house. Most people have monthly house notes. Look around. Maybe you can find a little bigger house that will give you more room and you will be able to afford. If you are young you can handle working a little harder to have a little more. It won't be forever.

People in Japan are living in smaller houses so I have heard.
The question is how many hours a day are you spending inside the house ? The other question is How is the weather ? Can your family spend the week-ends outside going for walks etc. or the weather is so bad that you have to stay indoors?. If that is so then in the long run you will have to move to a bigger house before you get too much stress.

you will need a bigger house !! but consider your financial situation . If you can live in the small house now ...save a bit more equity then go into the bigger house , with the installments . You can probably cope a little bit more as your child is only three but by the time your ready to move you'll have extr amoney for security .Is their a chance for a second part time job to save ?

You can live in a small house (my granddad had 14 bro's and sis' and they lived in a one room house!). But for comfort, privacy, and mental well being, you should look at eventually moving to a bigger place. I lived in a house with my mom, dad, and brother that was 2 rooms (1 bedroom, 1 family room). It worked for awhile, but I was going batty towards the end (especially weekends when my stepbro stayed with us). Plus, check local laws. Some places have room requirements for number/age of people.

Wow, where do you live? If I'm not able to afford a house, I sure can't afford to hire a live-in babysitter. Perhaps the relative cost is different in your country, but that sounds expensive.
Since I don't understand the costs of things in your country, I'm not really able to give good advice, but I do know that houses tend to hold their value, so perhaps a bigger house would be worthwhile for you if it isn't too expensive. An installment wouldn't be too bad.

it will be up to you. You had a taste of the simple life. If I was you I would give most of my money to people who could really use the help. Pick one of many charitable causes. Keep some to live on in a large beautiful house..I agree ..we all would live in a better house if we could afford it..I would want more space for my wife..and a distance from my nearest neighbors... Most of your money won't help you..it is a burden that could help humanity for years and years..and people would not think of you as a spoiled selfish dumb blond heiress..but it is your money...do what you want...but you will not live any longer then most of the people and if you die...then you will be on the same level as the rest of the people who are mortal

Years ago we lived in small houses I believe they were more family friendly .
As long as you have a good routine worked out and lots of unconditional love you will make it.
take a walk around the neighbour hood and listen to the birds Singing take in the beauty around you if moments arise which get a little to much.
